The Great Awakening approaches. Disruptions in the Hungering Steppe cause tensions to flare up between the warlords.

Blood and battle has come to the Steppe. Only the strong can survive.

Game Master Notes

These notes exist to help you run through the Quest. They are put here by the creator and should give you some direction as to what they had in mind when they created the Quest

This is part of the Hungering Steppe campaign, come on over and see what’s going on, and how you can get involved!

- Path to Story -

As the Great Awakening beneath Ghur begins to build, the land itself begins to shift. A massive tusk of rock bursts forth from the ground, high above the horizon. Kalazar and the Bloodroot Legion seek to take this ‘Toothspire’ in order to gain vision over the lands of the Steppe. The Cult of Unseen do not want this spire to fall into the hands of any force that would grant insight into their dealings. If they can’t take the spire for themselves, they’d rather see it fall.

This quest allows you to gain a reward by fighting alongside one of the warlords. Either Arch-Hekatos Kalazar of the Bloodroot Legion or Menthizar Kraeth of the Cult of the Unseen. You do not need to have settled in either of the Warlord’s areas in order to fight alongside these warlords. Please indicate which Warlord you are supporting in the comments below.

If you had pledged to a Warlord in the second phase, you are not required to support them in phase three. There are no mechanical consequences for not fulfilling your pledge to a warlord. However, you only have one other chance to support this warlord. If you do not support this warlord at least once during the campaign, you will be labeled as an Oathbreaker narratively

Rewards

Sometimes a Quest creator will tell you what you get for completing the Quest, depending of the outcome of course. If there is nothing, you can obviously create your own rewards, ahhh… imagine the possibilities…

You receive these rewards regardless of which Warlord you support.

  • For completing this quest, word of your legend grows across the Hungering Steppe. You receive 6 Glory and your warlord gains 1d6 Renown.
  • If you participated in a game of Age of Sigmar and used the territory rules for one of the areas of the Steppe, you receive 3 additional Glory.

As the battle for the Hungering Steppe begins, your Warlord earns an Improvement. This Improvement can be the Bonus Ability related to your Warlord of choice noted below or a number of Characteristic Enhancements from the Anvil of Apotheosis whose Destiny Points do not exceed 4.

Bloodroot Legion Bonus Ability – Master Tactician

The leaders of the Bloodroot teach you the art of war and you learn how to give out efficient orders.

Each time you spend a Command Point to allow this unit to issue a Command Ability, roll a dice. On a 5+, receive an extra Command Point.

Cult of the Unseen Bonus Ability – Fade into Shadows

You have learned to use the power of shadows to deceive your opponent. They attack illusory soldiers while the real threat prepares to attack.

At the start of the first battle round, after the armies have been set up but before the first turn begins, you can remove 1 friendly unit from the battlefield. If you do so, at the end of your first movement phase, you must set that unit up again anywhere on the battlefield more than 9” from all enemy units.
